Review from A B (Mother of Child) published on 16 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little one has been at Riley Park since April and I couldn't be happier with the experience we've had. From the very beginning, the settling in process was brilliant. The staff took the time and care to really get to know my child making sure that we both felt comfortable and confident before moving
forward. It never felt rushed - they genuinely cared that we were all happy.
All staff are absolutely fantastic - always smiling, approachable, and friendly. They're more than happy to answer any questions I have, no matter how small, which really puts my mind at ease as a parent.
The nursery itself has such a calm, welcoming, and inviting environment. It's clear that a lot of thought has gone into creating a space where children feel safe, happy, and ready to explore and learn.
I'm genuinely very happy with my decision and would highly recommend to other parents. It's made the transition so much easier, and I'm grateful every day knowing he's in such good hands.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little one has been at The Marlow Riley Park Day Nursery since it opened in January 2025, and I couldn't be happier with my choice of nursery!
They were incredibly accommodating right from the start, offering three full weeks of free settling-in sessions before his official start date to ensure
he felt comfortable and secure. That level of care and thoughtfulness really stood out to me, and it made the transition so much smoother for both of us.
Every day, the staff share little stories about what he's been doing - and it's clear they know him well and truly enjoy spending time with him.
The nursery's app is fantastic too. We receive regular updates throughout the day, they also share daily photos of the activities he takes part in, which gives us such a lovely insight into his day and all the fun he's having. The Nursery is a warm, welcoming, and professional setting, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent.We feel lucky to have found it!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't rate the nursery highly enough. It was definitely the right choice for our daughter, she's happy and thriving. All the staff are happy, loving and engaged and the children have a great time. The app is updated throughout the day so I can keep an eye on what she's eating, when she's sleeping
and more importantly see photos of her having a great time which makes being at work without her much easier.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.687)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.687) out of 10 for Little Garden The Marlow Riley Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.979 for Little Garden The Marlow Riley Park is calculated as follows: ( (47 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.979
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.708 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Garden The Marlow Riley Park is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 60 number of registered child places is 12. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.333
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
